How we can work together?

Sponsored Article:

We know what makes our audience tick. We can write an engaging, attention-grabbing article that introduces your brand to our enthusiastic audience of travellers. Not only will we write it for you, if you like, we can come up with a unique concept for the article. Alternatively, you can provide us with a pre-written article, which will be subject to the approval of our editing team.

The sponsored article will be featured on the homepage of our website and shared on all of our popular social media channels. The article can be up to 1,000 words and may include photos, videos and two links to your website. It’s so easy, all you have to do is get in touch with us and tell us you’re interested, we’ll take care of the rest.

Ethics: We reserve the right not to work with any company that we do not agree with ethically.

Clarity: Every sponsored article that we write is declared as such in the credits at the bottom of the page, so that our readers know that we received compensation for our writing.

Rates: Our sponsored articles are the best value for money way to advertise on our website.

Banner ads:

Knowing that our audience does not appreciate being bombarded with advertising when they look at our site, we have very limited space for banner ads on South East Asia Backpacker. That said, we do have space for a limited number of good quality adverts on our site.Get in touch for details.

Specific accommodation advertising:

Do you want your hotel to be a part of our list: ‘The Best Places to stay in South America’? Our list includes backpacker hostels, boutique hotels and friendly guesthouses, not just cheap dorm rooms. Our diverse audience has a variety of travel budgets and they like to choose from a range of places to stay, from budget to luxury. We love to feature unique and unusual stays which capture the imagination of our adventurous audience.

We only include accommodations that we’ve visited and loved, or had a trusted personal recommendation for, so get in touch with us via the contact details at the bottom of this page and we’ll work out how we can arrange for a visit!

Listings / Text links:

We offer two types of listings to people who want to advertise their business in the relevant section of our website. For example, if you’re a hotel in Buenos Aires, you’ll want to be listed here.

Company listing and link – We will write a brief unbiased description about your company on a page of your choice along with a link to your website.

Company listing and link with photo – Same as the above, but can include a photo of your business.

Social networking package:

Want to make a noise on social media? This is the option for you! With our active and engaged audience, on Facebook in particular, we can use our social media presence to boost your business. The posts can advertise a promotion, launch a competition for our readers (which we can also design for you), or just show off the features of your business.

The social networking package includes two well-timed posts about your business on our Facebook (15k likes!), Twitterand Instagram, which could include photos, links or videos.

Press trips / stays:

We are (of course!), open to being invited to stay at your hotel, experience one of your adventure trips, take part in your workshop, attend your event, visit your restaurant, or try out (within means!) whatever you’d like to suggest to us. If we’re close by, we’ll make an effort to come and check out what you have to offer backpackers!

Clarity – We are not obliged to write about stays / experiences that we get offered for free, but we often do!

Other ways that we work with travel companies:

Affiliates

We have several affiliate partners on this website who we’ve been working with successfully for years. For example, we are one of the top affiliates of the well-established travel insurance, World Nomads, when it comes to referring travellers to them.

All of the affiliates that we use on this website, are tried and tested, and we regularly use them as travellers ourselves, be it a travel insurance or an airline, so we can be sure of the quality that we are offering our readers. If you’re interested in working with us as an affiliate partner, please get in touch and let’s chat more!

“Traffic that comes from paid search, organic search and referrals (such as South East Asia Backpacker) have a much lower bounce rate and are considered quality traffic.”

A short history of the brand you’ll be working with…

We started off life as a print magazine, South East Asia Backpacker, which launched in Thailand in June 2009. We became the first, and as far as we know, still the ONLY, magazine dedicated to backpackers in Southeast Asia.

We printed 30 magazines over five years (you can view them all here!), which were distributed for free in hostels, cafés and travel agencies all over South East Asia in popular backpacker hotspots. Our magazine was unique in the fact that we accepted articles from backpackers themselves and truly became the ‘voice of backpackers’ in Asia. We gained fame and popularity all over the region, which spread internationally as people followed us on social networks when they returned home.
